My opinion: it's not necessary in a dual meet because you will shake the opposing coach's hand in the handshake line at the end of the meet. A sincere shake of your opponent's hand at the conclusion of the match is an adequate display of sporsmanship. I do favor shaking the coach's hand in tournaments because it may be the wrestler's only opportunity to do this during the entire event.
